How to update ClamAV on SME10
« on: May 15, 2026, 10:50:28 PM »
I've started getting an email from Logwatch telling me that the Clamav virus database is older than 7 days. I've tried using the Freshclam update method 1 from the wiki which is the only method not shown as deprecated but when I enter /usr/bin/refreshclam in a terminal window I get a No such file or directory message.

Is there a newer method for updating Clamav that hasn't yet made it into the documentation?

Thanks for pointing me to this post. I'm not sure why it didn't show up when I did a search on the forums for clamav. All I was seeing in the results were posts for SME 7 and 8.
